Hi,
My daughter (who is now 19) child benefit stopped as her course ended on 31st August. However the universal credit stopped for her from last UC date - 15th August (statement runs from 9th-8th). I have queried this with UC and they said they cannot pay partial payments. But as a single parent, it seems really unfair that this happens. If I had earned more that month, they would have changed amount, but not if your dates do not quite marry up.
I know there is possibly not a lot I can do, but wondered if I could challenge it?
